Kind of kidding, but what if there's not much difference between Darius Jackson and Zeke. lol;

Don't see it happening, but I do think Jackson could end up making this (or someone else's) team.

6'1"
220 lbs
4.35 forty
41" vertical

That's a speciman

Make Morris a FB.

After four incredibly productive seasons, highlighted by setting the franchise’s single-season rushing record mark, running back Alfred Morris has signed with the Dallas Cowboys.


The news was first reported by ESPN's Adam Schefter.

Morris was originally selected in the sixth round of the 2012 NFL Draft with the 173rd-overall pick.

At first, he was expected to make any sort of impact for the Commanders, as some even had the Florida Atlantic product pegged as more of a fullback than his natural position of running back.

Maybe they will convert him into a WR, if he can catch at all. He has decent size and very fast and with all the other RB, it would be worth a shot, maybe.

RB3 should be a STs ace and DJackson looks made for that role

Jackson was my pet cat. He is not going to beat out Elliot IMO but, he will be able to play Special Teams right off. He played some Safety and some QB. He's a one cut, downhill runner. I think he can be a nice asset to the team.

Really like the kid.

I think he's going to have to be a standout on special teams to not end up on the practice squad. With runnings backs, it's not just about running ability, it's about trust. They aren't putting Romo in his hands anytime soon.

There are two things that impress me about Zeke, and neither of them was revealed at the combine. 1) His vision is so special, he makes it look easy. 2) From a young age, he dedicated himself to becoming a standout blocker because he noticed none of the other backs wanted to do it.

You could never have enough RB depth. Somebody will tweak a Hammy during TC

I hope we don't try to stash him on the practice squad. He compares a lot to David Johnson. Had a higher Sparq score than David Johnson.

I like the positivity, but i don't think there is any chance someone trades for McFadden.

If someone needs a rb like the cowboys last year and run a man blocking scheme then a 1,000 4.6 a carry rb should be on your radar. Cowboys gave a pick for seahawks bust of a rb.

We made sure CMichael was a bust. He did just fine for SEA during their playoff run. JGarrett just didn't like him, it happens all the time in sports.

DMC is a dime a dozen vet RB.....he knows the passing game so that helps but he is nothing special

Jackson has speed and size, but does not have natural RB instincts when he hits the hole granted he put up decent #'s in college. I hope he does good enough to make team but I will not hold my breath.

I'm not all that sure about Jackson as a running back. He's a very upright runner who doesn't play with the power someone his size should show.

His SPARQ might be great, but there's some holes in his game.
